Super Training Master

Villarreal coach Pellegrini is not well-known in Europe, because he has previously coached in Chile and Argentina. The first team he coached was his mother team at the University of Chile, but after the order After a disappointing performance, he left the largest football club in Chile. ⊥,

He then went to Palestino, O'Higgins and other teams, but his successful experience in Argentina's San Lorenzo made him famous.

Last year, Pellegrini walked out of South America and came to Europe for the first time. He directly took over this 'yellow submarine'. When he came, he almost directly became the team's head coach in an airborne situation. Most people would be confused when they heard his name-no one in Spain would know the name of a Chilean coach.

But Pellegrini led the team with good results.

After nearly a season, Pellegrini's ability was recognized by most people. The third place in the Villarreal League is enough to satisfy the fans.

This is not only the top three in the league, but also brings them ‘great’ Champions League places.

However, Pellegrini is still not very satisfied. Of course, winning a championship in the first season is called perfect. Perhaps his idea is similar to Wansheng. He is also aiming at the UEFA Cup. Unfortunately, Pellegrini has not How much confidence.

The Derbyshire on the field really made him feel unconscious.

Although coaching time is much longer than Wan Sheng, in fact, Pellegrini also led the team to participate in the European tournament for the first time, his understanding of the English team comes from various reports and news, really positive and England This is the first time the team has faced each other.

He made a lot of preparations.

Before the first round, he knew that this Derby County was good at attacking, but as a result Derby County played a defensive counterattack. The solid defense and tough style really made Villarreal unfit, and they lost one goal Derbyshire.

Pellegrini made a lot of preparations in the second round. But it turned out ... Derby County's style of play was changed to a full-line attack? Are they going to play an offensive battle with Villarreal?

Pellegrini was completely at a loss.

He didn't expect that in less than ten days, the opponent he faced played two completely different styles, although before the first round, the team had already played against Derby County. Prepare, but now they are not prepared, they thought it would be an offensive and defensive confrontation.

What now?

Derby County scored again and the team has fallen behind by two goals.

Pellegrini knew it was not a moment of stun, when the game restarted. He stood on the sidelines and shouted to the players, "Go up! Go up!"

He wanted to inspire the morale of the players and bring the team and Derby County to a head-on attack.

But this temporary adjustment of tactics can only be imagined by the role of the morale-based strategy. Although Pellegrini ’s shouts are not small, Villarreal players do not know what to do on the court. do.

Riquelme heard the coach's shouts, and he was also trying to organize the offense, but they didn't have time to make adjustments because the opponent had been pressing the whole court. Even if they make a small mistake, the opponent will immediately take the ball away, and the opponent's offensive will follow.

So they can only defend.

After so many times, Villarreal obviously became extremely passive!

They can't organize an attack. Without the rules of the game, they can only defend all the time. In such games, they can't play the team's advantage. Instead, it was completely suppressed by Derbyshire.

Seeing this situation, Pellegrini knew it was his mistake, and he felt very annoyed. But now there is no way to make up for it.

Wan Sheng smiled at the corner of his mouth when he saw this scene.

He didn't expect Villarreal to make such a big mistake. The opponent obviously did not have much preparation. He probably thought the team would continue to play defensive counterattacks.

This was unexpected for Wansheng.

He originally thought that this game would be an offensive battle, and it was not so easy to win. How do you know that your opponent will make such a big mistake?

This also gave Wansheng a wake-up call.

As the head coach, it is definitely a big responsibility. If there are mistakes in the preparation for the game, the team will mess up on the field.

Fortunately, it was the other party who made the mistake.

The game is here, and even though the half is not over, Wan Sheng knows that there is no suspense in the victory.

...

As Wan Sheng thought, Derby County soon scored again.

This was in the 37th minute of the first half. Ribery put a left foot on the left, the football rolled to the middle of the road, Morris followed to poke the ball to the right, and Ivan Crewe kept up with the goal!

Football rushes directly to the far corner of the goal!

2: 0!

"2: 0! 2: 0! In addition to the goals scored in the last round, Derby County has led Villarreal 3: 0 in two rounds! There is no suspense in the outcome! Now I dare say that Derby County will definitely be able to Eliminate Villarreal! "

The live commentator shouted happily, "This is Ivan Crewe's goal! Recently, Ivan Crewe's condition is very good. This is the 19th goal contributed to the team this season. In the total number of goals, he has almost caught up with Van der Vaart ... "

"Van der Vaart scored more goals in the league, but it was a pity that he was suspended for a period of time, which made it difficult for him to compete with Arsenal forward Henry for the league golden boots."

"But Arsenal has only one Henry, and we have Van der Vaart and Ivan Krug, as well as Bolton Reiter and Kluivert, who have frequently scored recently. Every one of our frontcourt players has performed well Perhaps this is why we can occupy the first place in the league ... "

Referring to the last point, the on-site commentator seemed a little intoxicated.

That's the first in the league!

In the summer, Derbyshire fans only want the team to be relegated. How dare you think about fighting for the league first? At that time, Wan Sheng, the head coach, said that he wanted to compete for the European tournament, and the media was given the title of arrogance. But now think about it, Wan Sheng was already quite conservative in setting goals.

Perhaps Wansheng should tell the media at that time, "Our goal is to be the champion!"

Champion, champion ... haha!

...

After Ivan Crewe helped Derby County score the third lead, there was no suspense in the game. The three-ball lead was enough to make Villarreal desperate.

That was three goals!

Villarreal is still in a very passive situation. It ’s too difficult to pull back three goals, especially because their play is still restrained by Derbyshire-at least they think so, they have no way to defend against the tight game of Derbyshire. The head coach Pellegrini couldn't come up with a response strategy so quickly, so in the second half, the situation on both sides remained unchanged.

A Spanish team with outstanding technology is still suppressed by the whole line in the case of falling behind. This kind of game makes Villarreal see no hope.

Even if coach Pellegrini yelled on the sidelines to cheer the players up, he could be suppressed. How much fighting spirit can be raised in this situation?

Conceivable.

The result is also imaginable.

Finally in the 79th minute of the second half, relying on the header of Captain Marcus to break the goal, Derby County expanded the score again, and the result of the two rounds of the match was finally frozen at 4: 0.

Derby County defeated Villarreal with a big score, and it is very close to the UEFA Cup semi-finals!

The following day the other games of the UEFA Cup also had results. Atlético Lisbon eliminated Schalke and entered the semi-finals. They became the opponents of Derby County in the semifinals.

Sporting Lisbon is a giant in Portugal.

Their real name is "Portuguese Athletic Club", nicknamed "Lion" or "Green and White Army", but for historical reasons. People outside Portugal are accustomed to call it "Sports Lisbon", the club also intended to correct their names, but later found it too difficult to accept the fact that the name inside and outside is different.

Atletico Lisbon 1902, the first club president Viscount Holt Lehman borrowed money and land from his grandfather. It was proposed to form a team. The name was "Belas Athletic Club" at that time. It was renamed "Savannah Athletic Club" in 1904, and it was changed to "Portuguese Athletic Club" in 1906.

Sporting Lisbon has long been one of the top three in Portugal. With more than 90,000 members, Sporting Lisbon has been at the forefront of the Portuguese league since the 1930s. The worst result is only fifth in the league.

However, their performance has not been good recently, and their performances at home and abroad are declining. Not only has the total number of domestic league championships been surpassed by the Porto Football Club, only to the end of the top three, but there is only one European winner cup champion in European competitions. Far behind Benfica and Porto, who won two European Champions Cups.

Like Benfica, Sporting Lisbon also has multiple sports teams. Sporting Lisbon ’s youth training base is one of the best in the world. It has cultivated the soul of the Portuguese golden generation, Luis Figo, and now plays. Manchester United's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sporting Lisbon is an opponent that needs to be dealt with seriously.

When the outcome of the semi-final match came out, Wan Sheng was interviewed and made it clear, "They (Athletic of Lisbon) are opponents that need to be dealt with seriously. If you are careless, you will probably lose ..."

Hearing these words, Portuguese media reporters were all smiles, they were happy to hear coaches from other countries praise their national teams, but Wan Sheng ’s words were only half said, "... but if you take a serious response, if you want to beat them also Not difficult! "

Suddenly, the Portuguese media reporter who just smiled just now turned black immediately, and they understood why there are always so many young Chinese who are not flattering.

Wansheng didn't care what they thought.

In fact, this is just a regular press conference for the club. When he comes over, he answers the two questions, and then he can leave.

This is completely a job requirement.

He is not specifically for an interview. During this time, he was completely unhappy to deal with the media, because the team has reached the most critical moment!

The most critical moment requires 100% effort to deal with it!

That is ... competing for the championship!

On April 20th, Derbyshire challenged Tottenham away to win a goal at White Hart Lane.

Three days later, Derbyshire challenged Middlesbrough away.

McLaren ’s team is currently ranked in the middle of the league, there is no danger of relegation, and there is no qualification for the European tournament. The remaining few rounds of the league are like chickens for them. It does not matter if they lose, and it does not make sense to win, but Middlesbrough doesn't mean a little 'draining'. They played defense throughout the game. From the first minute of the game, they showed the spirit of 'defending a whole game'.

Faced with this kind of iron bucket defense, no team can do anything.

In the football world, there is a sentence called 'human sea tactics are the best defensive tactics'. This is definitely the truth that can be put into the 'soccer bible'. In the face of Middlesbrough's play that insists on keeping the goal, Derby The county has no choice.

In the end Middlesbrough held the draw.

After the game, Wan Sheng looked at McLaren with a wry smile and shook hands tightly with him, but the force on his hand was a little big, which made McLaren gritted his teeth.

Wan Sheng almost asked, "Man, how much money did Chelsea give you to make you work so hard."

Of course, Wan Sheng is just talking about his heart, and in terms of transposition, he will definitely make the team go all out.

This draw made Chelsea see the hope of equalizing the points. At present, they are only two points away from Derby County, but they have just experienced the battle with Bayern Munich, and they have to prepare to face Chelsea of ​​Liverpool. The fatigue of the whole team can be imagined. And, more importantly, the opponent they face this round is still Arsenal.

As a result, Chelsea only drew Arsenal at Stamford Bridge 0: 0 the next day.

They missed the best time to tie the points.

Derbyshire was too late to celebrate Chelsea's 'mistakes'. Three days later, the 35th round of the league started and Derbyshire played against Blackburn.

Blackburn is currently ranked 12th in the league. Like Middlesbrough, it is a worry-free relegation and a hopeless European team. The remaining rounds of the league are like chickens for them, and their approach is the same as Middlesbrough. Unlike this game, Blackburn did not send the main lineup at all, and only used a semi-replacement lineup to play.

According to the analysis of Sky TV commentator George Woodgate, "Head coach Sonys has made a wise choice because he knows that even if all the main players are sent, the team will only lose at Pride Stadium. Since the results are the same, there is no need to waste energy ... "

If Sonys heard George Woodgate's statement, it is estimated that he would send all the main players immediately, of course, this is the comment in the game, even if he knows it can only be after the game.

In the end Derby County easily won the game 2: 0.

At the same time, Chelsea had another draw. McLaren Middlesbrough seemed to be trying to make up for the "failure of the old friend of the draw", so they worked hard for a whole game, and the surprisingly Stamford Bridge was achieved .com ~ drew Chelsea.

As a result, the difference between Chelsea and Derby County widened to 4 points.

After the game, some media commented, "Middlesbrough is the biggest spoiler. They first let Derby County lose two points and Chelsea lost two points ..."

However, the most authoritative statement is that Chelsea was dragged by the European Champions Cup. The state of the team has not recovered. On the one hand, Chelsea wants to win the European Champions Cup, on the other hand, it wants to win the league. Derbyshire is getting farther and farther.

With only three rounds left in the league, the four-point gap is deadly!

But it must be said that Chelsea still have a chance, because the score in the last three rounds of Derbyshire is very difficult.

They have to face Arsenal, Manchester United, and Portsmouth, who will fight for relegation, will definitely go all out. In this case, it is not easy to get two wins.

At this moment, almost all European eyes are on the Premier League championship competition. (To be continued ...) Easy. Look. Little. Say.
